Others

Sometimes I care too much for others
Being there therapist
Helping them cheat
Giving them money and never getting it back
I do these things not thinking about what I need
I am their therapist but never think about how what we are talking about is triggering me 
I help them cheat with the risk of me getting caught
I give them money knowing I needed it to get home
And in return, I get betrayed
Left out
And ignored treated like trash 
To be used and thrown away 
But I can't stop I feel obligated to help
And help I will
Even if it hurts me
